Arial is a cheap knock-off of Helvetica. Helvetica does look great in print or on high DPI screens, and Arial manages too, but it’s not so great if you’re dealing with a 96 DPI screen and small font sizes.

It's not a knock-off of Helvetica, but a different font that was designed/modified to have the same metrics.
